Just bought this. The Scrolling Capture feature is worth it by itself. Well done!

There's so much opportunity in the space of taking Mac OS features and 10x-ing them. What's hard is the execution. The new CleanShot goes above and beyond its predecessor in terms of finesse and thoughtfulness. Best $29 you'll spend this month.

This is a truly awesome utility for IT professionals who have the need to constantly take screenshots and share them. There is a copy feature, annotate feature and so many more which I absolutely love.

TL;DR: Simply no other tool can match the level of Cleanshot. Fast, intuitive and doing features at hand when you need 'em. Been using Cleanshot for the past year and it's one of those tools I can't live without. The quality of product is top notch— and so is the support from Luke and Paweł. (well done guys)

Super super excited for this new, expanded version of CleanShot! The scrolling capture alone is worth the price of admission (I'd been using Xnip for this previously).

@lukaszmtw I bought it. Features I want: 1) magnifying glass with crosshairs to make area capture pixel perfect. Download Xnap and look at how they do it; it's better than yours in that way. 2) after selecting area, make `spacebar` and/or `enter` to take the shot, rather than click.

Awesome product, bought it straight away. Is GIF and video uploading supposed to work? That’s what the video suggests but can’t find the option.

@lukaszmtw What an amazing powerful product. I've been interested in screenshots for a while, it seems like a new medium for communication. I even wrote an article on it https://medium.com/@SamuelBeek/t.... Your tools seems to have tackled a lot of my frustrations and ideas for taking and sending screenshots on the desktop. I was wondering what next steps are: Where is this product moving, will it be more of a utility or a platform around screenshots? will you make more communication features or capture ones?

Lovely update. One thing I wish you could bring though is pressing cmd (or option) key to start dragging the image from annotate screen instead of pressing the `Drag Me` button. Is much nicer UX to just hold a modifier key and start dragging the image.

My favorite app again here! When I first touched Cleanshot, I was impressed with how easy it was to use. You can take screenshots and shoot videos in one application. But the most important thing about Clanshot is their Quick Access Action. It's very convenient when you can use drag and drop for video or screenshots in messenger or task tracker. And now Cleanshot X has cloud functions to store pictures😍. Best screenshot tool ever!

I think I bought cleanshot a few years back when it was just a menu bar utility (does that sound right?) Now that it seems to have an online account, etc - it seems to be much more competitive with products like Loom & CloudApp - is that accurate?

I've been lucky enough to beta test this product and it solved all the problems that I had with screenshotting tools. Long screenshots and gif maker are game changers. And the best part? I can share them easily via cloud!

Impressive product @lukaszmtw, congrats! I'm interested in buying CleanShot but would love to see more FAQs. My main question would be if it's possible to use Dropbox instead of your Cloud solution. Thanks!

I've been using Cleanshot for a while now and Cleanshot X makes it better in every single way. From beautiful new features like the scrolling capture - which is unlike any other similar feature I've seen - to improving the overall feel of the app (love the new video configuration options). Cleanshot X is probably the last screenshotting/recording tool I'll ever need. If you don't have it already you should absolutely get it now!

Awesome update. I jumped from Cloud App to Cleanshot sometime back and missed the cloud capability along with a couple minor niceties. This bridges the gap. Upgraded to X. Great job guys.

I posted this in a mac group I run, and got a bunch of feedback like: Native can do 90% of this This is like skitch? pass. So I wrote a quick breakdown of why this is (to me) better than the native flow, which I love, and use every day: 1) I use the cmd+shift 4 flow every day, then I hold control to get it into the clipboard I can't edit the snapshots quickly like that. If I don't hold control, I can edit the screenshot, but then I can't put it back into clipboard, nor can I drag it out, so have to save. This is context switching, and is bad. 2) Editing on native is super limited and annoying. There's no easy arrowing, no numbering, and most importantly, no blurring / pixelating of sensitive info. You can only use like rectangles and stuff, and they are by default just black. You color choice isn't saved between sessions. 3) Sharing is horrible, like what is this? Why can't I share to slack? We're in 2020, this is stupid. I can on ios, but can't here? 4) No gifs. Gifs are essential, and there's no gifs. I use Gifox, and other tools, and they all have their issues as well. 5) Being able to drag the actual screenshot is super useful, not all places can get a paste from clipboard, and more places accept a draggable asset. 6) Cloud built in? I use dropbox and it has a feature wherein you can save screenshots to there, and you get the link immediately. But this has the same for gifs, images and videos? (I think, haven't checked) And did I mention the pixelation? I really really need pixelation.

Instant purchase. Both cleanshot and pixelsnap have been two apps that live inside my menu bar providing that much needed extended function that feels native to mac os. They key feature that sold me is the rolling screen shot. Now you don't need to stitch anything together anymore and it's really something that will come handy every day. Although you need to create an account to use their cloud, they have opted to make this available as a one time purchase. No subscription needed unlike flexibits who went for the "milk your user base" route. great product and devs that I would recommend to my friends.

This is awesome! I have two questions. 1. Are there text options when annotating (font size, color etc)? 2. If we get/pay for the cloud do we have the option to embed screen capture videos onto our site for example?

I've had cleanshot for over a year and it really is a great piece of software. I use it at least 10 times every single day.
